Having read these posts and spoken to rugby fans over the past ten years, coupled with the mediocre diet of rugby served up in Newport during that period have convinced me that this fusion of Newport and the valleys is never going to work, just as it hasn't worked in the Pontypridd and Rhondda Valleys. This is borne out by the determination of the Pontypridd club to achieve results which might, just might, earn them a place again at the top table. But it won't. Neither Cardiff and the Valleys nor Newport and the Gwent Valleys will ever become one unit. It is time to hand it all over to the two clubs (not forgetting the Llanelli club has also done its own thing). They will continue to have paltry revenue streams, average players, a player drain in the case of the excellent exceptions and standards will continue to slide. I don't say this lightly but with a heavy heart. There are no winners in this internecine conflict. Too much water has gone under the bridge, too much bitterness remains for these wounds ever to be healed.

Great post.........but I'm still a bit lost....... again how do the valley clubs come into it ? Sorry to repeat myself but NEWPORT RFC have 50%, WRU 50%.
